Why do it

• In alphabetical order– Compliance with legislation

• Carbon reduction commitment• Compulsory carbon trading

– Corporate social responsibility• Consumer (and employee) pressure

– People and planet

– Cost saving• energy = money• Energy saving = money saving

http://peopleandplanet.org/gogreen/guide.letter.php

Sustainability and IT

• Sustainability of IT– Making the technology more efficient

• Power saving• Virtualisation

• IT for sustainability– Using technology to make other activities more efficient

• Video conferencing• E-anything• Smart metering• HVAC control systems

Some numbers

• “IT” estimated to be responsible for – 2% of world’s GHG– 10% of UK electricity overall– Rising to 20% (or more) in IT-heavy businesses

• Average server has the same carbon footprint as a typical SUV• Server capacity increased by 40% in 2013• During 2011 we passed the zettabyte of stored digital data mark

– Now maybe 4ZB?

Some numbers – data centres

• Energy consumption of data centres increased by 63% in 2011 (Data Centre Dynamics)

• Data centres accounted for 14% of ICT carbon dioxide emissions in 2007 – Projected to be 18% in 2020 (The Climate Group, 2008)

• “If the cloud / internet were a country”– 5th in electricity consumption – (Greenpeace, 2010)

Some numbers – end systems• 1.78 bn PCs and 1.82 bn units of browser equipped mobile devices in use

by 2013 (Gartner, 2010) • By 2020, 50% of the world’s population will own a mobile phone (Climate

Group, 2008) • 4 bn cellular subscriptions worldwide at the end of 2008, 5 bn in 2011

(ITU, 2010) • 50 bn internet-connected devices by 2020 (Ericson, 2010) • 91% of users use their phones to access social networking sites vs. to 79%

of desktop users (Read Write Web, 2010) • Social networks overtook search engines

for UK Internet visits in May 2010 (O’Hear, 2010)

Something must be done

• Technological solutions, aimed at making the IT more efficient, and reduce the number of boxes consuming energy– Server virtualisation– Thin client systems– Cloud computing

• “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers”– Thomas J Watson Snr. Head of IBM, speaking

in 1943• Allegedly!

Recycling and Disposal

• Re-use a source of significant cost savings (up to 90% cheaper to refurbish than to make a new purchase)

• Disposal of working equipment after refresh exercise can generate revenue

• Separate components before crushing, can be worth a lot e.g. £1,800/tonne for RAM

• Waste disposal suppliers should be ISO 14001 accredited to ensure compliance with relevant legislation

Smart City: The Smart Sewerage


Water supply, sewerage and waste disposal are examples of important infrastructures in an expanding city that citizens expect to function. To maintain a sustainable growth of cities the use of sensors and Internet of Things are natural building blocks. The main objectives in this project are to investigate the technological possibilities and to implement a prototype system in the Skellefteå municipality for evaluation in order to avoid critical situations in the future (see figure Cryptosporidiosis). In the spring of 2011 an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis occurred in the city of Skellefteå



A global trend in Smart Cities is the installation of sensors for surveillance of the city infrastructure. The presented system is mounted in a number of strategic sewers for initial evaluation. In order to monitor the natural variations of the sewer (including daily variations) the system should be able to integrate into normal monitoring/alarm systems. The communication channel and mounting position (sewer well in the ground) put limitations on the system



Limitations

The sensing and communication unit should be able to mount in a concrete well (under ground) and to survive the damp and cold to allow long time operation without maintenance. When the sewer well is under a street, the communication unit is mounted beneath a cast iron lid which affects the design and hardware components. Measured data needs to be communicated wirelessly since there is no possibility to provide wired data connections at such locations. Furthermore, the physical environment in sewage ducts is moist and corrosive, which places high demands on robustness of the hardware components. The equipment needs to be battery powered and have a battery time of at least 12 months, which is the minimum maintenance interval that can be accepted from the sewerage staff.

An ultrasonic sensing device is placed ~500 mm above the measured water level and measures the distance between the sensor face and the water level using. A small 110 x 70 x 55 mm IP67 rated waterproof box contains the GSM device and additional electronics which is then connected to a battery unit.
